Murals are painted on the walls of the tomb, the wing and the tunnel. Zhu, yellow, white and black are the main colors. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, most of the murals have fallen off or are unclear, but from the remaining parts, we can identify the sitting, fighting, hunting, dancing, stables, ceremonies and paintings of husband and wife.

Judging from the tomb structure and mural contents, the tomb owner of Donggou 12 should be a noble of Koguryo, and the pavilions, stables full of horse manure, singing and dancing, and groups of handmaiden in the mural should be a portrayal of the life of the tomb owner before his death.
Similarly, according to the contents of murals, it can be inferred that the tomb Donggou 12 was built in the 5th century.

Tomb No.4 of Wukui Tomb belongs to a typical mural tomb in the late Koguryo period, which is located in the scenic spot of Yushan aristocratic cemetery in Ji 'an City, Jilin Province, in the middle of Donggou Basin.
The origin of this tomb name is related to the shape and quantity of tombs. There are five huge earth-sealed tombs in Yushan Tomb Area of Donggou Ancient Tombs Group, which are arranged in a straight line from east to west and look like five huge helmets. Locals call it the "Five Helmets Tomb". Tomb No.4, the fourth tomb from west to east.
Tomb No.4 of Wukui Tomb is a mural tomb with a sealed stone chamber covered with a bucket-shaped mound. The perimeter 160m and the height of 8m are composed of a pyramid-shaped mound, a tunnel and a grave.
The tomb of Tomb No.4 of Wukui Tomb was built on the flat ground, made of huge granite stones, neatly trimmed and spliced with white ash. The plane is rectangular, 42 meters long from east to west, 3.68 meters wide from north to south and 3.64 meters high.
The four walls of the tomb are made of two layers of stones, with a height of 192 meters. Above the beam Fang, double plastering and overlapping caisson will be made, and the top stone will cover it.
Three sarcophagus beds are placed in parallel in the north and south of the tomb. There is an east-west stone pedestal at the western end of the south wall, which may be the pedestal for placing funerary objects. The bottom of the tomb is paved with flat slate.
Tomb No.4 of Wukui Tomb has four gods painted on the four walls, lined with continuous patterns of netted lotus flowers and brocade, and figures are painted in the netted lining, sitting or standing on the lotus platform with different postures.
The east wall of the tomb is painted with a picture of Qinglong. In the picture, the dragon holds its head high, its mouth opens and it spits out its red tongue. The dragon body twists and turns, the forelimbs stretch their claws flat, the hind limbs push away hard, decorate the white feathers and fly south.
The eyebrows, feathers, eyes and horns of the whole dragon are vividly portrayed. The dragon is yellow, green and reddish brown, and its neck is red, yellow and pink. The scales are marked with black diagonal squares.
The south wall of the tomb is painted with a suzaku map. The bird in the picture is all red, stepping on the lotus platform, spreading its wings, trimming its tail and leading its neck to sing.
The west wall of the tomb is painted with a white tiger. The tiger in the painting is symmetrical with the east wall Qinglong and flies to the south. The tiger is white, its skin lines are outlined with ink lines, its waist is thin and its tail is upturned.
On the whole, the tiger in the picture is very tall, with big eyes and a big mouth, showing white fangs, which is very powerful.
The northern wall of the tomb is painted with a map of Xuanwu. In this picture, a big snake is wrapped around a turtle. The two songs are opposite, and the two tails intersect, which seems to be like playing. Snakes have five colors, just like dragons. The turtle in the picture has a reddish-brown back and no nail stripes.
There are still four gods painted in the tomb for a reason. In ancient times, the four gods were also called "Four Spirits", namely Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger, which were the names of four groups of images composed of ancient ancestors of 28 stars in the sky.
In the past, the ancients thought that the four gods were gods sent from heaven to all directions. So there are South Suzaku, North Xuanwu, East Black Dragon and Two White Tigers. The murals on the walls in the southeast and northwest of the tomb correspond to this statement.
Above the wall is a beam with eight dragons painted on it, and two dragons on each side are intertwined. There are more than 30 dragons in the murals of the whole tomb. The dragon is a status symbol, and it is impossible for ordinary people to draw dragons in graves. Based on this, it is inferred that the owner of tomb No.4 of Wukui Tomb is at least a Koguryo nobleman.
The four corners of the tomb are painted with the same joist monster. The image in the picture is a beast with horns on its head. The left leg flexes and the right leg pushes back, and the arms struggle to lift up, holding up two panlong dragons.
There are also murals in the caisson part of the tomb. The contents of the murals here are mainly immortals, feather people, flying stars and geisha immortals.
The murals in every corner where the first spatula meets are the most typical.
The two corner stones in the east corner are painted with a picture of Shen Nong's Suiren. This picture shows that human beings have ended the era of eating animals and drinking blood and started to engage in agricultural production. The head of a cow in Shennong on the left is said to be the ancestor of agriculture. In the picture, Shennong holds an ear of grain and teaches people to eat it.
The man on the right in the picture is Sui Ren. It is said that he is the inventor of drilling wood for fire, and is regarded as the first and "ancestor" of Huang San. In the picture, Suiren holds a torch and teaches people to use fire.
Xizhong's father and son picture, the accident painted by two horns in the south corner. Xi Zhong is the legendary creator of the carriage. In the picture, one person is smelting iron under a tree and the other is making wheels, which shows the production of ancient handicrafts.
In the west corner, there is a Lapras immortal painted on two corners, wearing a flat crown and a robe, which seems to be the legendary Yellow Emperor. There was a man behind with a Fei Lian and a big flag as a gesture of ceremony. According to analysis, this painting reflects the history of ancient state power.
The two cornerstones painted in the North Point are Fuxi Nuwa pictures, on which a person's upper body and a dragon's lower body are painted.
On the right, Fuxi is the image of a man with a three-legged disc in his hand, symbolizing the sun. In ancient legends of China, Fuxi was the emperor of the East and the son of Huaqing who stepped on the footprints of Raytheon in Razer.
Nu Wa on the left in the picture is a woman with fair skin and long hair shawl. Hold up a disc with a toad in it, symbolizing the moon. Nu Wa is the goddess of creation. She created human beings from yellow mud.
It is said that Fuxi and Nu Wa became "ancestors" and "ancestors' milk" respectively after their marriage. Therefore, later generations think that this picture of Fuxi Nuwa symbolizes the birth of mankind.
In addition to the murals above, there is a dragon in the center of the first corner stone. Bow your back high, just like a stone on the top of the jacking.
Looking back, the faucet was open, and there was a hole in the mouth, which might have been inlaid with jewels such as the night pearl.
On the second clay knife, there are pictures of the sun, the moon, stars and immortals. The musical instruments played by the immortals in Ji Le included Qin, waist drum, flute and so on, which was related to the variety of Koguryo musical instruments at that time. It is said that Koguryo was rich in musical instruments at that time. There were as many as 2/kloc-0 kinds of musical instruments depicted in mural tombs, including Xuanqin, Zheng, flute and drum.
The stone on the top of the tomb is a whole diamond-shaped slate with a colorful dragon painted on it, opening its mouth, sticking out its tongue and hovering with its head held high.
According to textual research, the construction age of Tomb No.4 of Wukui Tomb is about the end of the 6th century and the beginning of the 7th century. Its colorful mural themes are the full display of Koguryo people's artistic pursuit, and also reflect the reference and transformation of the Central Plains cultural painting tradition.
